MEANWHILE
"Hurry up Atticus look at that long ass line" said Gretchen as she ran out of the car as soon as it stopped.
Atticus took the keys out of the ignition and followed Gretchen, who was running to get in line.
Atticus caught up to Gretchen, who had stopped.
"Why did you stop?" asked Atticus, looking at Gretchen with a worried look
Gretchen stayed silent.
"Gretch?" asked Atticus, worried because his sister didn't answer him.
"Look" said Gretchen pointing to someone who was in lines.
"Looks at…" Atticus was confused on who Gretchen was talking about but didn't finish his sentence when he saw who Gretchen was talking about.
"What the hell is Dad doing with that little prick" said Gretchen.
"I don't know and I don't care" said Atticus as he walked to the end of the line.
Gretchen followed him but quickly took out her iPhone and took a picture of John with his hands around a young man.
"No, I can do better" said Gretchen as she started walking up the line of people.
"Gretchen where are you going?" asked Atticus as he followed her.
"Just follow me" said Gretchen.
